List Of The 17 Banks Directly Funding The North Dakota Pipeline & How To Stop Them

What’s going on in North Dakota at Standing Rock, the site of mass protests against the Dakota Access pipeline, is very important. People have joined Natives in standing up for the protection of air and water quality, as well as the protection of sacred lands.

Now there is something more you can do to get involved and take action, we’ll get to this in a moment.

What’s going on at Standing Rock is very much a reflection of the angst the public is experiencing as they see how ruthless the actions of big corporations can be in taking non harmonious actions with our planet. What’s also frustrating is that these actions are for technologies we don’t even require any longer. See here.

Acting on it, we’re seeing a fantastic example of the power of unity and coming together on issues to make a stand in favor of the direction our world truly needs to go.

The Banks Funding The Pipeline

The Dakota Access pipeline is funded directly by 17 banks. Among them Citibank and Wells Fargo, two that you’ve surely heard of and maybe bank with currently.

It’s difficult for the public to get into the heads of the oil and gas companies and pressure them to act, but it’s a lot less difficult to get attention from banks that need consumers business. Bank loans, lines of credit and our savings accounts are what fund projects like this through the bank. What would happen if those were gone?

Pressuring the banks directly involved with just a few actions can make a big difference, especially if enough people band together and do it.

The nonprofit Food & Water Watch’s research actually found that 38 banking institutions in total are involved in funding the proposed Bakken pipeline. This stretch goes all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. A section of this project is the now famous Dakota Access pipeline.

So taking action on any one of these banks will help -all would be amazing.

Here’s What You Can Do

1. Contact the banks and let them know you don’t support your money being used in this project.

2. Stop doing business with these banks.

3. Spread the word to as many people as you can with this list, urging them to take action.

Here’s what you can say when you contact the banks:

According to Food & Water Watch researcher Hugh MacMillan: “Ask these banks to clarify whether funds they are providing are being used, in any amount, to pay for the heavily militarized response to the Standing Rock Sioux, including the attack dogs, sound-cannon trucks, heavily armed officers, and even a crop duster spraying undetermined chemicals over the camp.”

“People should also ask these institutions why they are sinking so much money into maximizing the amounts of oil and gas that can be brought to the surface and burned at a time when climate science is clear we have to maximize what we keep in the ground instead,”

You can also explain to them that as a customer of their financial institution, you do not support the idea that your money is helping to support the Dakota Access pipeline, due to the fact it’s a dangerous unjust oil pipeline and that it threatens air and water quality in many states. Explain you feel it violates sacred lands of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. Finally let them know that if they don’t choose to back out of supporting this, you will take your business elsewhere.

Below is a list of CEOs and other bank executives who are involved in these decisions. Their contact information is included. The first 17 banks (*) are directly funding the Dakota Access pipeline:

I was born in Portland Maine, and grew up in the Boston area. As a Physics, Psychology and Spirituality student, I have been searching for truth all my life, looking to make sense of all the insanity in this world. In that time, I have developed a holistic body of knowledge linking science, philosophy and spirituality into a single framework of ever expanding understanding. I want to share what I have with the world, becoming teacher to some and student to all others. My goal is to help myself and others become better truth seekers, and with the wisdom gained in the process, make this planet the paradise it was meant to be. I am just happy to give back to a world and universe I have received so much from.
